Hello fellow toastmasters and most welcomed guests!

Tonight, we had 32 participants including 6 guests. The meeting has been expanding and it shows that members are very engaged in improving their public speaking skills.

We had Julian, who is one of the veteran members and a mentor of our club as a Toastmaster. He welcomed everybody with solid introduction about himself- how he first got involved in Toastmasters Club 10 years ago.

Tim served as a Table Topic Master and asked questions regarding future to five table topic participants. Every question was different but based on the same theme, future, and everybody gave the wonderful speech. Good job!

Our prepared speeches are getting more interesting. Michael Jackson, Chet, and Merlyne gave their fascinating speeches to members and guests. Their speeches gave us insight, humor, and information all together. Michael’s speech “MJ’s Sweet 16” consisted of 16 points to show how organized Michale is and convinced us that we need to give him a good evaluation. Chet’s second speech was about ‘Utopian Relationship.’ He gave us three categories of relationship and asked us one of the ultimate questions of life -if a perfect relationship exists. The third speaker was Merlyne and she gave her seventh speech, “To Follow or Not to Follow” with the thorough research. Entertaining with humor, asking us deep questions about life, all the speakers did impressive jobs. Well done guys. We will see you all in the next meeting which will be held in the same room. Hope to see you all next week!
